PerthNowJanuary 18, 2019 6:09AM

STM’s annual Hot 100 List is the ultimate guide to the hottest people, places, events and trends that will shape your year.

Here at STM we are well aware that the word hot is subjective, so we’ve been mindful to include a broad cross-section of local entries that will appeal to you, our valued readers. We hope you’ll agree that Perth-spawned Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker — who has a mammoth year ahead headlining mega music festival Coachella (we can’t stress how BIG this is) and a hugely anticipated new album out — is a red-hot cover star. Then there’s cricket superstar, Scorchers captain Meg Lanning, whose firm focus is on leading the Australian women’s cricket team to Ashes glory. And who doesn’t love escaping to our idyll across the ocean, Rotto. We give you the first look at the island’s first new accommodation in 30 years, an eco tent resort at Pinky Beach. Plus, we bring you Perth creatives flying the flag overseas, such as pro-surfer-turned-model Imogen Caldwell, actor and style provocateur Cody Fern and design duo SIR The Label. Of course, we haven’t forgotten May’s Federal election and, as always, we reveal the hottest new places to dine, drink and stay. So get ready to be excited and inspired by the year ahead. We look forward to being a part of your 2019.
